TRAVEL WITH CLARITY

What to check
before you sail.

Kerala Tourism operates a houseboat classification scheme with vessel-specific standards. Classification and operating licences are separate requirements, so check documents for the actual boat you plan to board.

Kerala Tourism classification guidance ↗
01Ask for the vessel’s current Port Department licence and registration details.
02Ask whether the vessel has current Kerala Tourism classification, and request its certificate if applicable.
03Confirm passenger capacity, life-saving equipment, fire-safety equipment and first-aid arrangements onboard.
04Check the route, cruise hours, night halt point and what is included in your quote.

We have not verified Lee Castle’s vessel-specific licences or classification from public sources. Please request the current documents directly before booking. Search Kerala Tourism’s houseboat listings ↗
